Here’s another Visual Metaphor that I created for a client that deals with executives and trains them in leadership and people skills. The client asks her client to come up with a 3-part list consisting of 1. Where they were, 2. Where they are now, and 3. Where they see themselves in the future. My …

I haven’t posted a series of my visual metaphors in a while, but I was pleased with the way this one turned out so I figured I would foist it on you, my loyal readers. This series is about an engineer who is transitioning from a technically centered aspect of his career to more of …

The Boys of Autumn?

Samurai Night Fever: Another Visual Metaphor
Here’s another Visual Metaphor. This one happens to be my client’s favorite. In the first frame, our executive is cutting a bloody path to success.

Visual Metaphors: Panel 1
This is the first panel of the visual metaphor showing our executive’s humble beginnings as conductor of a chamber orchestra. The three panels are placed on a letter sized layout and presented to the client as a reference of where they were; where they are, and where they want to be.

Visual Metaphors: Panel 2
This is a follow-up to yesterday’s post. Today I’m publishing the second panel of this particular visual metaphor. This is similar to a lot of visual metaphors I do. This guy compares his executive/work experience to that of being an orchestra conductor. He starts out with a smaller chamber orchestra. In this panel, he’s leading …
